Stomach Ache – Why? |
“
Posted on September 6, 2010 by Janet Stomach pain comes in so many shapes and sizes what is the cause of your tummy ache?
Burning in the stomach: Hmm, I have a feeling you may have been snacking on something you shouldnt. Maybe a Mexican meal of chips with tomato, onion and chili pepper salsa? Whether you experience this burning pain at the top or the bottom of your stomach, most folk claim to have an acid stomach.
In fact, the reverse if probably true burning pains in the stomach are usually caused by insufficient acid. This means that food does not move quickly enough out of your stomach and onto the next stage of digestion the small intestine. So, why does this cause burning stomach pain? Because the food is sitting in your stomach for too long along with the acid which causes burning and irritation.
Burping: It was my grandfathers daily ritual to produce (with some pride) an earth-tremor of a belch at the end of each meal, declaring this to be a sign of his wifes good cooking and his own fearsome digestive system.
Unfortunately, it wasnt quite as fearsome as he may have thought he passed away in his 70s his gallbladder calling it quits (and medical science not having quite the same knowledge it does today). Burping is caused by gas trapped in the stomach. This creates pressure and burping or belching is your bodys way of attempting to relieve this.
What causes this type of stomach ache? Mostly poor food combinations, insufficient stomach acid, eating too much and eating too quickly. Bloating: If you feel like your stomach is a hard ball, youre probably bloated. Bloating can have many causes.
